Monitor BGP connections
Likewise, we monitor..
- Prefixes received by our speakers to a given threshold.
- Externally observed abnormalities: IS Alarms (was MyASN), BGPmon, Renesys.
SNMP is a really easy implemention for the former and probably the right road to go down.
BGPmon.net may be what you are looking for--I use it, and it is fantastic.
